In Good Company

Dinner for 17
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live and work in the same place? The Mount Washington Observatory family is just like any other family; we work during the day and share funny stories and experiences at the dinner table each night. But sometimes, the dynamic changes when we have overnight groups joining us on the summit. With a larger crowd, the dinner table becomes much livelier. Individuals who are brave enough to share personal stories to a group of strangers may eventually realize that perhaps we are not strangers any longer, but rather a group of friends relating to each other through similar life experiences. If you’re interested in this unique experience, we’ve got room for you. Come join us for an overnight trip to see what our family is all about!
